misfortune to lose Masonic watch

and charm on his vest on the ground
while he was in the diamond, and
after the game the charm and chain
were missing. Thorough search
was prosecuted, but all to no avail,
and several persons who were sus.
picioned have virtually cleared them.

thoroughly searched as to strengthen
the belief that the jewel was stolen,

A Road of Glass.

By and by we reached the obsidian
cliffs-a bluff from $50 to $50 feet in
height and 1000 feet in length. As it
was necessary to build a carriageway
under this cliff, and indeed l may say
across it, Col. Norris accomplished it by
building huge fires upon the larger
masses and then dashing cold water upon
the heated surface, which being suddenly
cooled were shattered into fragments
that were easily moved, and thus the
roadbed is composed of broken obsidian,
or volcanic glass; but one would never
imagine that he was driving over glass
highway unless he CHANGED to get little
beneath the surface and discovered bit
of obsidian that resembles the bottom of
a bottle, as did. The glass oozes from
the rocks like gum from a tree. 1t is al
most black, quite opaque, and the edges
of it when Clipped off at proper angle
are as sharp as razors. OF it the Indians
fashioned arrowheads, weapons and
tools. The supply seems inexhaustible,
for it is found in many parts of the Ma
tional park, and these cliffs alone as a
mine, or fountain, shall l say, of glass
are probably unequaled in the world

When Grant Closed the Gates.

The recent action of the president in
having the gates of the White House
grounds closed until after o'clock in the
morning has caused much comment.
Upon one other occasion, in the summer
of 1869 or 1870 during Gen. Grants adj
ministration, the gates were not only
closed in the morning, but kept closed for
three consecutive days. The reason for
this was to give a safe pasturage to a
fleet little Arabian pony, which had been
sent as gift to the president or some
member of his family. While the little
animal nibbled away at the grass or
amused himself, pony fashion, racing
about the grounds through the fine sum-
mer days, the public, who had been de-
barred the privilege of entering the
grounds, nursed its wrath and sighed for
an abatement of the nuisance. For
three days the pony held absolute sway
in the grounds, and then, alas! upon the
fourth his frolicsome spirit departed to
the happy hunting grounds, he having
been mysteriously poisoned, by whom has
never yet transpired. Chicago Herald.

Evolution of Invention.

Facts and natural laws, known for
years as curiosities, are taken up by
some inventor, who fails in the attempt
to render them of practical use; then a
second genius takes hold, and profiting
by the mistakes of the first, produces at
great cost a working machine. Then
comes the successful man, who works
out the final practical design, and whether
making or losing a fortune, yet per-
manently benefits mankind. This course
is exemplified in the address by the rela-
ton of the growth of the steam engine;
and so with other inventions. The steam
boat was being developed from 1860 to
1907; the locomotive from 1902 to 1929;
the telegraph from 1929 to 1874; the sew
ing machine, with its 2, 900 patents, from
1880 to 1860 and the reaping machine
for seventy-tive years, the last successful
man adding but little to the work of his
forerunners. The rule has been that
''the basis of success lay in thorough
acquaintance with what had been done
before, and in setting about improve

Low Ceilings and High Ones.

The sanitary institute of Great Britain
has discussed an interesting paper in
which the writer argues that ventilation,
that is, the constant change of the at
mosphere, goes on more satisfactorily in
a room with a low ceiling than a high
one. The argument is, that to have the
currents of fresh cir circulating only in
the lower part of a room, leaving the up
per portion of the air in it unaffected, is
practically a much worse way of ventila-
ting the room than, with the same move
ment of the air, to cut off the upper
stagnant portion of it by low ceiling,
for the stagnant atmospheric mass under
the high ceiling, although motionless,
keeps actively at work under the law of
the diffusion of gases, fouling the fresh
currents that circulate beneath it, while
with low rooms and high windows no
accumulation of stagnant air can exist,
the hot and foul atmospheric strain being
swept constantly from the ceilings in the
currents just as dust is swept from the
floor by broom.-Boston Budget.

DIR. Ii. G.. Wood of Philadelphia main
tains that to make it possi lie to live to a
good old age, the several vital dreams m,,et
be approximately equal in strength. re
man of ordinary physique, who pos
sesses this fortunate balance of power,
will, in all probability, outlive an athlete
whose development has been unequal
Excessive strength in one part is, in fact,
a source of danger. An over-developed
muscular system invites dissolution, be-
cause it is a constant strain upon the less
powerful organs, and finally wears them
out. Death, in the majority of cases, is
the result of local weakness. 1t often
happens that a vital organ has been en-
dowed with an original longevity less
than that of the rest of the organism,
and its failure to act brings death to other
portions of the system, which in them
selves possessed the capabilities of long
life.
The fact of having succeeded in life,
with the satisfaction and comfort it
brings. contributes to the prolongation of
existence, while failure, with its resultant
regrets. tends to shorten it. In old age.
the organs possess less elasticity to meet
and overcome such strains as can be in
vited with impunity in youth. Hence the
old should be spared the strains. 1t is al
so desirable that, as their years advance,
they should make their personal habits
the subject of careful study, and, with
the help of some wise counselor, regulate
their daily life in accordance with the
changed conditions of their animal
economy. This is particularly the case
with reference to diet.-Exchange.

dozen fellows rushed out of the hold and

more. When the third was fired there
was an explosion, probably of a barrel of
powder, which lifted her deck thirty feet
high and split her wide open. She sank
right there before our eyes, and the walls
of the wounded wretches who floated
about for minute or two were dreadful
to hear.
Capt. Tabor felt that such treachery as
the natives had shown deserved the sever
est punishment, and we turned both guns
loose on the village and fired forty or fifty
shells. When daylight came not a human
being was in sight. Portions of the junk
had been driven on the beach, and the
natives had fled and left everything be-
hind them. The sharks were probably
attracted to the spot by the sounds of
firing, and they certainly had rich feast.

since, and as they fished up the bodies
from the bottom around us three or four

natives among our crew had conspired

passage aboard and overpower u.s. When
this game could not be worked. owing to
the refusal of the captain to take them,
they followed on after us in the junk,
and found cheerful co-operator in old
Wung-Hang, the trader.
He supplied us with the best of pro-
visions, detailed natives to do all our
work, and when we were ready to leave
he supplied us with five natives, and
gave Capt. Tabor full power to decapi-
tate them at the first signs of disobedi-
ence. During the next three years, or

A Saw without Teeth.

One of the most ingenious mechanical
devices recently introduced is saw with.
out teeth, which will cut steel rail in
two minutes. The saw in question is run
by AN eighty horse power engine-more
power than is required to run all the
other machinery in the shops-is thirty
eight inches in diameter, and three
eighths of an inch thick at the edge.
The disk is made of Bessemer STEEL and
runs at very high rate of speed. While
in operation band of fire encircles the
saw, the many sparks flying from the
revolving disk resembling a display of
pyrotechnics. To keep the saw cool and
prevent it from cracking, a tank of water
is placed above the machine, from which
a small stream runs down and drops on
the saw while in motion.-New York

In n Mexican Theatre.

One very funny custom of the theatres
here, is their manner of keeping their re-
served seat diagram, the seats being
marked upon it by small holes, in which
are placed wooden pegs. When you buy
a reserved seat the ticket seller removes
the peg from the hole you have selected
and gives it to you as your check. The
ushers know the seat it designates by the
length or color of the peg. AS soon as
the act drop falls every gentleman puts
on his hat. rises in his seat. and turns
about to take view of the house through
his lorgnette. They subsequently pass
into the aisles to greet their friends, and
remain there talking until the prompter' S
bell warns them that another act is about
to begin. Then they hurry to their
places and remove their hats. The APP
pearance of a Mexican theatre between
the acts-its aisles crowded with groups
of men talking and gesticulating wildly
would cause an unsophisticated American
to think that free fights were in progress
all over the house. Very few ladies
wear hats or bonnets in the street, sub
shutting black lace mantillas instead,
and even these are dispensed with at the
theatres-the hair being deliberately
dressed-and as the majority of the gen.
tlemen are in full evening dress, the APP
pearance Of Mexican audience is very
brilliant. Pittsburg Dispatch.
